These toddlers-to-be twins were just the cutest – double trouble just after their first birthday. They were so busy exploring their immediate environment, such as their parents’ hair, and checking whether any of the colorful plants were edible, as well as practicing their independent mobility, that I had to pull the entire repertoire of tricks […]

If you think wrangling four kids is hard, try seven. It was such a pleasure to meet this wonderful family last month for a Capitol Hill session together with their three host children from Colombia. Thank you for the privilege of letting me document a sliver of their summer in the US. Had to pull […]

You’ve got to love a family with teens and young adults who are not just willing to meet at 7 in the morning on a Sunday (after a 30 minute drive no less), but are happy and smiley doing so. Of course, for active athletes such as this group, 7 am might feel like sleeping […]

Ever since I met Eloise at her brother’s Bar Mitzvah a couple of years ago, I couldn’t wait to photograph her big day. (Just look at the first photo below from her brother’s Bimah Session and you’ll know what I mean). This girl is so spirited and energetic, kind, funny, and smart – just pure […]

Sophia’s mom found me on google after a miscommunication with another photographer that ended in a disappointing no-show. Such a situation is no fun, but I am sooo glad she found me and that we had the opportunity to capture Sophia’s NCS Senior pictures on a beautiful and sunny afternoon in DC. As serendipity would […]

When you visit Washington, DC, of course you bring twenty of your favorite relatives and meet for an extended family session at 5:45 am at the Lincoln Memorial. Right? – Right. I am so in awe of this family. Wheng, her husband and their four beautiful children had visited DC this past April when I […]

I clearly hit the jackpot this year with all my stunning seniors. Check out this early morning May session at the Lincoln Memorial and Constitution Gardens with Kylie, all around star athlete and gorgeous McLean High School graduate, class of 2021. Godspeed to her for her next chapter in Salt Lake City. Keep shining, Kylie.

I don’t remember how often we had to reschedule this shoot. Delays with the arrival of cap & gown, funky weather, sickness … but boy, the wait was so worth it. When we finally met at Emily’s alma mater, Marymount University, a thick cloud cover had turned the sky into a humongous soft box, providing […]

This session is such a great example for how a simple, clean backdrop can render elegant and timeless images. No need for dramatic land- or cityscapes or elaborate clothing, as long as the lighting priorities are fulfilled. Courtney rocked her session celebrating her graduation from HB Woodlawn in Arlington this summer, and I just love […]

I have rarely witnessed so much poise and maturity in a young girl who hadn’t even turned 13 when I took these photos of her. If her parents had told me she was a High School Senior, I wouldn’t have thought twice. Seriously, I still demand to see her birth certificate. So much love in […]
